Description

Dark clouds of dust cloak a stellar nursery — one of the closest star forming regions to our Sun. The globular cluster NGC 6723 at the top left of the image is much farther away, but I appreciate the photobombing. I tried to keep a very natural look when processing this. I did enhance the brightness and detail in the dust, but left the color saturation alone.
